Terraces – Permaculture Design Course Handbook

I absolutely love terracing! Terraces, a long standing tradition throughout many cultures, can still be seen from the past and are being implemented once more for their multi-function approach to landscape productivity and regeneration.  They create access, help to slow water, retain and help build soil, and give productive space for production of crops of all sorts including animal integration.  They follow the curves of nature and are quite aesthetically beautiful when done with craftsmanship.
